Crisis & Outreach

The Crisis & Outreach Services of CMHA Oxford provides Crisis Intervention to individuals via telephone or in person. Crisis & Outreach Services are mobile, meaning a worker is able to meet with an individual anywhere in the community. As well, we serve as a 24-hour-a-day back-up to all other direct service programs of CMHA, the Oxford ACT Team, the BSO Geriatric Outreach Team through Woodstock Hospital, and the Addiction Services of Thames Valley OTN Withdrawal Management Program. The Crisis & Outreach team provides support to individuals experiencing distress as a result of any of the following:

suicidal/homicidal thoughts or attempts

grief reactions

distressing mental health symptoms

self-harm

abuse

substance abuse

relationship issues

housing issues

financial concerns

stress

employment issues

conflict with the law

individuals requiring access to mental health services

The Crisis & Outreach Services can be accessed 24/7 at 1-866-933-2023 or www.reachout247.ca.
